Can't access public IP of the OpenVPN server through tunnel

resill

Hi all,

My OpenVPN server works beautifully, my clients connect through the tunnel and can connect to resources on the remote LAN and access the Internet through the tunnel as well. However, there's one little issue: my clients can't connect to the public IP of the OpenVPN server through the tunnel. Its LAN IP address is accessible through the VPN, but I want the clients to use the same domain name, which resolves to a public IP address, without any interruption. How can I fix this? This is my server config:
port 1194
proto udp
dev tun
ca ca.crt
cert public.crt
key private.key
dh dh4096.pem
server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt
push "redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp"
push "dhcp-option DNS 10.8.0.1" # Local Unbound
keepalive 10 30
tls-auth ta.key 0
cipher AES-256-CBC
comp-lzo
user nobody
group nogroup
persist-key
persist-tun
status /etc/openvpn/openvpn-status.log
log-append /etc/openvpn/openvpn.log
verb 3
mute 20 Any suggestions?

resill wrotemy clients can't connect to the public IP of the OpenVPN server through the tunnel.

Indeed .. because of this:

resill wroteServer :
push "redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp"

The server must have a separate IP address and domain name to be accessible via the tunnel.

So, would the easiest way to do this be add another IP to the server and setup OpenVPN on that?
